5 SATURDAY, MAY 19: Bethany Congregational Church of Foxborough is hosting a 6KWalk for Water, starting at 9 a.m. at the Burrell Elementary School, 16 More St., Foxborough. Why 6K? That is the average distance that people in the developing world walk each day to collect water that is often unsafe to drink. Join the group by walking, running or pushing a stroller. You may donate on the day of the walk. Suggested donations are $25 per child, $50 per adult or $50 per family. For every child/adult who walks, the event provides access to clean water for one child.
